The Flowers & The Showers
Sunday, August 08, 2010
Happiness is sometimes just a state of mind. Literally. You have to state what's on your mind to reach it.

Sometimes, I think of beautiful imagery as a reflection of what I think of others. Just like the title of this post. To me, it's a beautiful picture. Imagine, grey skies, a gloomy yet harmless rainfall. And in the middle of that picture are flowers. Beautiful, beautiful flowers. They could be any colour. Pink, red, yellow, bright blue.

Your main subject contrasts against your background. And although the context which it is set in feels almost disheartening, you can't deny that the flowers are indeed still wonderful. They make the picture almost hopeful and maintains a sense of happiness amongst an atmosphere of sadness.

I don't feel emotions as words. When you try to "think" of a feeling, what often triggers it? For me, I feel it in the form of pictures. How I feel towards someone, it mostly comes out as a visual scene.

Oh and before anyone gets excited about this post having a "cool story, bro" moment at the end I'll have to cut you right there. This is more refelctive than anything else.

The reason I chose that exact image was because it was what lingered in my head for most of the day. I think it's a great representation of how I feel right now. What happens when you find something you really like? The old dilemma used to be "Should I try to get it or should I give up". That was when I realised that waiting made no one happy. Ever.

But now, what happens when you've done it and everything looks great! Except for the fact that you know you're going to lose it. Like life gave you no choice. Or at least no wise choice. There are a million things on my mind right now, and it's hard to get any of it straight.

If only blog raging were so easy. Especially on this blog, you know, since it's all intellectual and stuff.

But really, I think I'm doing all I can to not regret life anymore than I should. Because living with regret is worse than living with sadness as a consequence. At the end of the day, the most important is to love and live selflessly.

And I think the thing I'm most glad about now, is that I stick to true to my moral beliefs. That's a good consolation.

And yes, finally moving on.

CHANGE
Since I don't have a band, I was wondering what I was gonna put up here. Okay, when I think of something good then I'll place up. Till then, you can watch this empty space. Which isn't so empty anymore considering I've just typed words inside of this box. Wow.
